NEW YORK, December 30.-Dealings
Of the day were OF the usual narrow
character, aud the trading mainly con
fined to some half dozen stocks. Diyi-
dends by Lackawanna, Lake Shore,
Michigan Central, and Canada Southern,
were OF a disappointing nature, for 1t
was generally believed there would be
increased dividends. When the amounts
of dividends were announced. the traders
sold and tie market eased off. Boston
bought a little Union Pacific, and point
ers were that il would 90 TO 90 today,
but plenty Of stock came out at every
appearance of strength. Reading held
firm on su porting orders. The Reading
strike has assumed amore serious aspect,
a special stating that only passenger
crews were now at work. Allthe freight
handlers, engineers, and crews have
struck, and the miners are expected TO
Join them before Monday. Indications
are that the fight will be long and bitter.
The prospects of the new year are not
at all encouraging in view Of the big coal

: II is wonderful how many great people
one sees in the Washington markets.
Half Of the noted housekeepers Of the
capital do their own marketing, and the
majority OF them can tell the difference
between q tender piece Of loin aud q tough
piece OF neck. They usually come Ia car
riages with coachmen and fOotmen, and
they have q fervant with them TO carry
Their baskets, OF, In ONE cases, they order
their things sent home.
Mrs. John A. Logan is q good marketer.
Mrs. Sherman understands all about the
ins and outs Of various stalls, and she can
tell you where you viii get the best cuts
and the sweetest butter. l saw Mrs.
Villas IN tho market the other day. She
was standing at q game stall and exam
lining critically a turkey lying before her.
She evidently did not like the looks Of the
bird, fol she spoke 10 her servant and
bought elsewhere.
Just here l noticed 2 contrast Of the ups

about her. Her features, however, were
scanned with sorrow, and her dress,
thozgh neatly made, had long since seen
its best days. She had a basket upon her
arm, and I noticed that its contents were
scanty and cheap. Still, O few years ago,
this widow was ono OF the leading ladies
Of the land, and she stood almost as high
in Washington society os Mrs. Villas does
now. She was feted, and her cheeks,
which are pale now, then blushed with
compliments. Her husband was one Of
the prominent mex Of bis party. lie held
a high official position, and his
future was as bright as the summer
sky. He lived, however, beyond his
means, and when a cold, caught at a
White House reception, ended in pneumo-
MIA and death, he left his wife aud children
nothing but a good nano with which to
battle with tho world. She had many
